Prediction markets are CFTC-regulated and brokers answer to the NFA, so we treat them like another regulated market, not a casino. Any market needs some speculation for price discovery. What is new is trading outcomes beyond commodities—sports, politics, AI benchmarks—where real money creates better forecasts. That is why I call them truth machines.
